What is “More Than a Movie”? 

More Than a Movie is our signature community-based event in partnership with PavCo and BC Place. Families and individuals purchase tickets for the unique experience to see a movie on the big screen at BC Place, eat popcorn and hotdogs, jump in a bouncy castle, and tons of other on-field activities hosted by the amazing sports teams from our city.

Every single ticket purchased includes access to all activities and provides admission to a child or youth from equity seeking groups to attend for free! Everyone deserves the chance to be a part of the crowd and participate in the same activities, no matter what barriers they may be facing. We believe in equality – and our signature event makes it a reality!

This event is supported by the community through ticket purchases, sponsorships, as well as social sharing!

As we all know, COVID-19 has drastically changed the lives of children across all regions of Canada. School closures, disrupted routines and the loss of recreational opportunities have, and continue to, affect the development, both physically and mentally, of young people. In an effort to support children across our country, Kids Up Front created the Kids At Home program, an extension of support by providing access to meaningful experiences at home.

A very important part of our Kids At Home Program is what we call “Our Virtual Neighbourhood”, presented by TD. This program connects children and youth through virtual events that share positive messaging, create new interests and promote inclusion, while educating and inspiring growth around important topics and connections to community.

Each chapter across Canada put together a virtual event surrounding a day of significance. In Vancouver, we did ours on June 28th for International Pride Day! We were lucky to have two outstanding guest speakers join us live with inspiring and insightful topics!

Special thank you to Denis Vachon and Coach Carey for joining us and making our International Pride day a success!
